    Abstract: Measurement configuration techniques for wideband coverage enhancement (WCE)-capable devices are described. According to various such techniques, a WCE-capable UE may be configured to recognize and apply distinct respective discovery signal measurement timing configurations (DMTCs) for WCE discovery reference signal (DRS) measurements and non-WCE DRS measurements. In some embodiments, the DMTC for WCE DRS measurements may specify a longer measurement periodicity for WCE DRS measurements than that applicable to non-WCE DRS measurements. In some embodiments, the DMTC for WCE DRS measurements may specify a larger measurement window for WCE DRS measurements than that applicable to non-WCE DRS measurements. In some embodiments, the WCE-capable UE may be configured to recognize and distinct respective measurement gap configurations for WCE and non-WCE measurements. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: A wireless communication device, method and system. The device includes a memory, and a processing circuitry coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is to: decode at least one signal field portion of a signal field of a Physical Layer Convergence Protocol (PLOP) Data Unit (PPDU) received over a bonded channel, the bonded channel comprising a plurality of subchannels including a punctured subchannel, the signal field portion on at least one unpunctured subchannel of the plurality of subchannels; determine, from the at least one signal field portion, information on a resource allocation for the device, the resource allocation indicating at least one resource unit (RU) used in a data field of the PPDU for the device; and decode a data field portion of the data field of the PPDU, the data field portion received on a part of the punctured subchannel based on the resource allocation.

    Abstract: Described is an apparatus of an Evolved Node-B (eNB) operable to communicate with a User Equipment (UE) on a wireless network. The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry and a second circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to determine a first Timing Advance (TA) for Scheduled Uplink (SUL) transmission. The circuitry may also be operable to determine a second TA for Grantless Uplink (GUL) transmission. The second circuitry may be operable to generate an SUL transmission for transmission at a timing based upon the first TA. The second circuitry may also be operable to generate a GUL transmission for transmission at a timing based upon the second TA.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein are related to grantless uplink control information (G-UCI) content and size designs/mechanisms in MulteFire (MF) systems. Since the power control of the grantless uplink (GUL) use is different from the scheduled uplink (SUL), the power headroom (PHR) calculation and reporting should be enhanced. Embodiments herein provide an electronic apparatus employed in an user equipment (UE). The electronic apparatus comprises a radio frequency (RF) circuitry interface and processing circuitry. In an example, the processing circuitry is configured to calculate the PHR of the GUL physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); generate an uplink data including the PHR of GUL.

    Abstract: Machine-readable media, methods, apparatus and system for beam acquisition in a wireless system are disclosed. In some embodiments, a base station may comprise a transceiver to transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a plurality of beam reference signals (BRSs) via a plurality of transmission beams; and to receive, from the UE, a report to report receiving information associated with at least one of the BRSs on at least one of the transmission beams, wherein the report comprises an antenna identifier to identify a directional antenna panel or an antenna port associated with the directional antenna panel of the UE which receives the at least one of the BRSs on the at least one of the transmission beam.

    Abstract: Technology for efficient distributed scheduling is provided using tentative grants. A UE can receive a transmission request from a Tx UE, and from additional Tx UEs. Each Tx request can include a priority level of the transmitter UE sending the transmission request, to form a priority list. An incompatible list can be formed based on a signal to interference ratio of each transmitter with the UE. A grant message and the incompatible list can be transmitted for n−1 iterations from selected UEs based on the priority list and incompatible list. A tentative bandwidth grant can then be transmitted at an nth iteration to tentatively allow the transmitter UE to send a D2D communication to the UE in the bandwidth grant.
